I'd like a set of these, preferably second hand, to use with a 20" wheel. Are there any makes that I should be looking out for, or looking to avoid?

I've recently swapped a bike for a Cateye Cyclosimulator CS 1000 that cost £280 in 1999, and came out of its packaging for the first time last week. As I don't have any bikes with 26" or 27" wheels, and don't really want to buy one just to perch above a roller, I'd happily swap it for something that would fit my Trice, PDQ, Brompton or Dahon.

Anybody interested in a swop?

A lump of dexion and a spare front hub and I now have Trice compatible rollers. Just need a book stand to relieve the boredom of looking at the garage door.
I've applied for permission to take it all in the living room

Yeah, I'd rather go out in the pouring rain than use a trainer...although I usually do neither, so good on ya!

Headphones, ideally noise cancelling!

I work my way through the many hours of formula one. At least sometimes it feels like you're speeding round the track, which gives me a cadence boost.
